wrapper returning '6' ... what does this mean?

I am trying to use exim with mailman. I've followed the directions at
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2002-November/
024041.html , but changing MAILMAN_WRAP=/usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper
to MAILMAN_WRAP=/var/mailman/mail/mailman and changing the various
instances of config.db to config.pck.
When mail is passed to mailman, I get the following in my
/var/spool/exim/log/mainlog:
2003-09-15 23:40:19 19z2x8-0005cR-Ub ** thingies@3e.org
<thingies-request@3e.org> R=list_request_router
T=list_request_transport: Child process of list_request_transport
transport returned 6 from command: /var/mailman/mail/mailman
What does the return value '6' mean?

Hi Daniel,
don't know if your problem is still unresolved. However, this is for the archives! :-)
I had exactly the same problem. However, the solution was very easy: Exim was set up to deliver mails to mailman automatically. This still works, but it needs another syntax than before (I had 2.0.11 installed).
Have a look into README.EXIM!
Good luck!
